A Horseheads man faces multiple charges following a traffic crash in the Tompkins County Town of Newfield that sent three people to the hospital.

The accident took place shortly after 7 p.m. Sunday on Shaffer Road in Newfield, according to New York State Police.

An investigation determined that Andrew P. Sampson, 27, of Horseheads, was operating a Dodge Ram pickup truck and crossed the double yellow line, struck a Ford Fusion head-on and came to rest on its side, troopers said.

Three people, a 31-year-old male from Newfield, a 24-year-old female of Enfield and a 62-year-old female from Newfield, were in the Ford Fusion that was struck by Sampson.

All three were injured and transported to Upstate Medical Center in Syracuse by helicopter with serious injuries, according to state police.

Our broadcast media partner WENY-TV is reporting that the male victim is Christopher Willis, a firefighter with the City of Corning Fire Department.

State police charged Sampson with first-degree vehicular assault, a felony, misdemeanor driving while intoxicated and unlawful possession of marijuana, a violation, along with several vehicle and traffic charges.

Sampson was arraigned in Town of Newfield Court and committed to the Tompkins County Jail in lieu of $3,000 cash bail or $6,000 property bond. He will return to court Thursday.
